Dallas Love Field Airport Private Jet Charter Prices
Private Jet Charter to and from Dallas Love Field Airport
Paramount Business Jets offers private jet charter flights and luxury airliner charters to and from Dallas Love Field Airport.
Like many other general aviation airports that cater to private and chartered business jets, Dallas Love Field started out as the city’s main airport until its commercial business outgrew it.
In this case, that was in 1974 when Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport opened.
That’s OK. Just means more room and VIP treatment for those who want to hire a private jet at DAL – Dallas Love Field – a city-owned public airport six miles northwest of downtown Dallas.
Airport Information
Tragically famous
Dallas Love Field (IATA: DAL, ICAO: KDAL) became an important part of American history on Nov. 22, 1963, when, following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, President Lyndon Baines Johnson took the oath of office aboard Air Force One as it sat parked on a ramp at the airport.
The event is so politically charged and shrouded in mystery that it took more than 50 years for the airport to agree on a way in which to memorialize the spot. In fact, the memorial was still being discussed in late 2017.
In 2015, lights were turned on to illuminate a bronze marker which has been embedded, flush to the ground, into the concrete where present-day planes taxi.
“President Kennedy has the eternal flame at Arlington Cemetery and a simple light here marks where the Constitution was preserved that day,” Farris Rookstool III, the historian who gave the bronze marker to the city was reported as saying. But the illumination was short-lived. A week after it was lit, the runway light, flush in the ground next to the marker, was abruptly turned off. It was positioned to shine into a bay window in the airport.
In 2017, Dallas’ Director of Aviation, Mark Duebner, told WFAA, the Dallas ABC affiliate television station, “The wheels have turned slowly, and we hope to rectify that soon. This was a significant event. I think it’s important for us to recognize it.” He said the light would once again be illuminated when airport construction, expected to be completed in 2019, is done.
Love Field is named after 1st Lt. Moss Lee Love, 11th Cavalry, who was killed in 1913, in a Type C Wright pusher bi-plane at North Island, San Diego, Calif.
Important dates in the airport’s history include:
- October 19, 1917

While Dallas Love Field is a general aviation, reliever airport for Dallas/Fort Worth International, a few commercial airlines remain. And they, led by Southwest Airlines, fought hard to remain there. In fact, Southwest is headquartered there. After the airline industry was deregulated in 1978, Southwest Airlines began to grow and announced plans to start interstate travel from Dallas Love. This angered the City of Fort Worth and DFW International Airport, which wanted air service expansion to take place at Dallas International. Legal fights, with at least one reaching the U.S. Supreme Court, for almost 40 years kept strict limits on commercial flights. It would not be until 2014 that destination limits were removed on the commercial airlines remaining at Love Field – Southwest, United, Delta and Seaport. And so, the air traffic grew:
- In 2013, 8.5 million passengers
- In 2014, 9.4 million passengers
- In 2017, 15.7 passengers

Popular Dallas Private Charter Flights
We receive a lot of requests for private charter flights in and out of Texas. Because of this, we have two Texas-based airports in our list of the top 10 US airports for private flights.
Whilst William P. Hobby Airport (HOU) is based in Houston, Dallas Love Field Airport (DAL) is — as the name signifies — in Dallas. There are some significant events that are synonymous with Dallas, such as the infamous JFK assassination, but there’s plenty to get excited about as well. A smattering of top sports teams, hot summers, and some mouth-watering cuisine are all factors that add to Dallas’s appeal. Plus, with over 566,000 millionaires living in the state, it makes sense that a high number of private jets are required in the region.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to stop for customs when I fly on a private jet?
Passengers on all international private charter flights will have to stop at customs. In certain countries, you may have to go through customs at a specific port of entry; for example, you must stop in Tahiti to perform customs checks en route to Bora Bora. You’ll also need to stop at the first port of entry when entering the U.S. from Mexico.
How much rest does the crew need before they can depart again?
Crew members are required to have a 10-hour rest period within each 24-hour cycle. The maximum duty day is 14 hours and must be followed by a 10-hour rest period at their hotel. When scheduling a flight, operators usually account for 12 hours of rest instead of 10. These extra two hours allow the crew time to get to their hotel, rest for the required time, and return to the airport.
How long does a fuel stop for a private jet flight take?
The average fuel stop takes 45–60 minutes. To speed up fuel stops, the operator, or pilots may call ahead, so a fuel truck is waiting for the aircraft on arrival. For smaller jets, a fuel stop can take as little as 30 minutes.
What if I need to charter more than one private jet at the same time?
No. When you charter a private jet, you generally fly into a private airport. However, you could access the same airports as a commercial airline if you request to do so or if there are no private airport options. However, using a large mainstream airport like Los Angeles International or London Heathrow is often a bad choice for private jets, as flying to a smaller regional private airport is much faster and often makes for a more luxurious experience.
Is the age of an aircraft a safety factor?
Aircraft age is not a safety factor. However, if the aircraft is older and hasn’t been refurbished properly, it may cause flyers some inconvenience, such as overheating, faulty air conditioning, or faulty plumbing in the lavatory.
How much luggage am I allowed to bring on a private jet?
As a rule of thumb, each seat on a light or midsize jet equates to one passenger and one item of luggage. Each item of luggage is considered to be the standard 23 kilograms, or about 50 lbs. Large jets are designed for long-range trips, which typically involve longer stays, so you can carry more than one item of luggage per person.
Are there aircraft that are wheelchair accessible?
There are many aircraft that are wheelchair accessible. Most of them are large jets or above and have a straight aisle. If the jet has a zigzag aisle – like the Falcon 900 – it will be difficult to maneuver the wheelchair onboard the aircraft. You’ll also need the right type of wheelchair; many motorized wheelchairs won’t fit and can’t be collapsed. If this is the case, you’ll need a smaller, temporary wheelchair. Some aircraft operators have smaller wheelchairs that can be used. Please speak with your Paramount private jet expert to review your aircraft options.
Can I fly with large sums of cash?
Yes, you can. This is a common occurrence for many private jet clients. You can fly with up to $5 million in cash as long as you declare that cash when coming through customs. For domestic trips, there’s no limit and no need to declare it.
Which private jets come with flight attendants?
In the United States, large jets and above are required to have flight attendants onboard; in Europe, flight attendants are used on midsize jets and above. Flight attendants require their own seats. Larger jets and above have a jump seat near the cockpit for the flight attendant to use, meaning the attendant generally stays out of the cabin.
Which airports offer ramp access, allowing the client to drive their car right up to their private jet?
Private jet clients can often have a limo drive them right up to the private jet, or even drive their own car to the plane. That said, different airports have different policies, and some may not offer ramp access. Please speak with your Paramount Aviation Advisor to review your options for a given trip.
Do private jets come with Wi-Fi?
Many private jets do have Wi-Fi, and it’s increasingly available free of charge on U.S. domestic flights. On international flights, prices range from $3.00-$8.50 USD per megabyte used. This means that opening up social media sites that are rich in images and videos could quickly cost you $20 – and downloading a feature-length movie could cost thousands!
When is on-demand private jet charter better than buying a block of hours?
Private jet charter can be a lot cheaper than buying a block of hours for a one-way flight, as you can access floating fleets or an empty leg to reduce the cost. With a block of hours, the price covers a round trip. If you only fly one-way, you are effectively paying double.
What is a carbon-neutral flight?
Every aircraft burns jet fuel and emits a certain amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere. This can be offset via one of several carbon offset programs that allow private jet clients to purchase a certain number of carbon credits to offset the emissions from their flights. A carbon-neutral flight is one that offsets the carbon emissions it uses via a formal process.
Can I have a flexible departure time for my private jet flight?
Yes, it is possible to have a flexible departure when flying privately. Operators typically offer a 30-minute to two-hour window, but you can request a longer window as long as it doesn’t interfere with the maximum crew duty day or their next scheduled flight. Please confirm with your Paramount Aviation Advisor at the time of booking your jet.
When should I hire a Boeing Business Jet?
Boeing Business Jets (BBJs) have unique amenities that extend far beyond sheer size and are often equipped with 1-2 bedrooms and 2-3 bathrooms (one more of those bathrooms may even offer stand-up showers.) These airliner-based executive aircraft also feature tall or ‘stand-up’ cabins that are also longer and wider than more typical corporate aircraft.
How soon can I have a private jet ready from the time I call in the request?
Generally speaking, with as little as 4 hours of notice. However, we have had wheels up in as little as 32 minutes from the time our client called us to book the flight and had them in the air. It depends on a few factors, such as how long it takes for the pilots to arrive at the airport (generally, there is a 2-hour call-out time for the pilots), and whether the aircraft is ready to go at the airport with no repositioning needed. Our Jet Card members enjoy faster booking since they have funds on account and can confirm a flight with a simple email.
Can I access my luggage while in flight?
On most private jets, you will be able to access your luggage during the flight. That’s because luggage and passengers are situated on the same level. This is in contrast to commercial airlines, where checked luggage is stored in a cargo hold. On large private jets, luggage is often stored in a compartment behind the lavatory, which means easy access to your bags.
When are private jet charter landing and takeoff slots applicable?
A landing or takeoff slot is simply a small window of time in which your aircraft is scheduled to fly in or out of the airport. You will need a landing and takeoff slot if you fly to a high-density airport in the United States or one that is hosting a special event with a significant number of aircraft arriving and departing. If you’re flying internationally, you will need a landing and takeoff slot for all major European cities. Please check with your Paramount Aviation Advisor at the time of booking for a specific route.
What kind of in-flight catering is available on a private jet?
Other than the standard snacks and drinks, you can order local cuisine options for your catering on board. In short, anything that doesn’t need to be cooked can be ordered; hot food must be precooked and then warmed on board.
Can I bring pets with me on private jet flights?
Of course! Just let us know in advance. The majority of the operators and aircraft owners allow pets onboard. In some cases, a small cleaning fee may apply. That said, there are specific requirements that must be met when traveling with your pet, including making sure that all documentation and vaccination records for your pet(s) are correct and up-to-date. Dogs and cats must also be at least eight weeks old and weaned when traveling within the U.S.
